Recently, scientists and engineers working on environmental and industrial problems have renewed their interests in water-soluble synthetic polymers primarily because of their broad range of applications. Polymer-surfactant interactions are not only of a diverse industrial interest but also stimulate academic investigations. Intercalation chemistry of phyllosilicates like vermiculite is gaining momentum rapidly to transform these abundant materials into selective heterogeneous catalysts. This book provides, detail aspect of kinetics and mechanism of the homo and copolymerization reactions of...
